When we are apart, time stands almost motionless.
Time doesn’t seem to move,
It stands statue like, still.
It cares not for our groove,
And surely never will.
It acts this way when together,
Since, like a petulant child,
When we want forever,
It runs like the wind so wild
I long to be with you,
And for time to slow to stop,
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do,
For eternity with you
Then when we are together, time doth seem to fly.

Isn’t that the truth! It does seem to fly by when you are here and crawl to a stop when you are not. I miss you.

I miss you too, so badly. I had never the realised passage of time could vary so much. I guess until you find the person you’re meant to be with and are then separated, it is impossible to know.

Might I suggest the “Unchained Melody” as you and Ionia’s song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=qiiyq2xrSI0

Thank you for the suggestion, John. That is fits so well with the intent of the poem.

My wife and I had the same issues many years ago and we found this song somewhat comforting since it represented how we both felt. The fact that it was highlighted in the movie “Ghost” also served to solidify the emotion. I still have tears when I hear it. Bless you both.

The rate at which time passes is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two soulmates? Newton missed the biggest inverse-square law of all…

That is so very true, Chris. Newton certainly dropped the ball there, didn’t he.
